Arizona State University-Tempe Top Questions

They are highly focus, goal oriented, dress nice, and work hard.

I was pleasantly surprised with the academics at ASU! My classes vary in size from small classrooms to large lecture halls. In the small classrooms the teachers get to know me very well and show a genuine interest in my success. What surprised me was that when I introduced myself to my lecture professors, they remembered me as well! All of my professors are very engaging and keep class interesting while teaching the important points of the curriculum. They encourage each student to try their best and give their students tools to succeed on every exam and assignment. I know this personally because I have listen intently to my professors and have followed the guidelines they have layed out for me, and have earned a 4.0 so far in my college career! I major in business communication with a minor in psychology and have taken classes that range from sociology to computer info technology. The most unique class I have taken has probably been sociology with Dr. Fey. He has a very unique way of teaching that kept me interested and allowed me to internalize the material much better than I would have in any other setting. I ended up with an A+ in that class and a mind full of fascinating information I use on a daily basis! I usually make a point to attend the professors office hours, because they can give you more personal attention and help you with any material you are struggling with. They are also very fun to talk to and you can learn many things about life itself from them. ASU's academic requirements are very reasonable and allow students to get into the school and grow in a university setting. The education at this school is definitely geared toward growing as an individual and starting a career that you are best suited in. I am in the W. P. Carey business school and they work hard to give the students as many opportunities as possible to achieve all their goals and get a successful career going right out of college. I know that academically speaking, I have made a good decision being a part of W.P. Carey and ASU in general.

Everyone on the downtown campus knows everyone. Within a few weeks of living here, students make friends from all parts of the United States as well as the world. Most students on the campus come from California, Oregon, and Illinois. Of course there are also many from Arizona as well. ASU is filled with students from all backgrounds and very accepting of these backgrounds. It is my opinion, that no one will feel out of place here. There are comedy clubs, chess clubs, sororities, fraternities, and so many, many other organizations.

The students at Arizona State University are of all age ranges and races. The university is very accepting of everyone's individual needs and I have had nothing but good experiences. Most of the students are from California and the west coast regions of the United States. However, there are a large number of students from the Midwest who venture out here. I am from Wisconsin, but I have had no problem making friends and finding my niche at Arizona. The smaller classes, usually English or elective type courses, provide a great opportunity to interact with other students through discussion and debate. Arizona State University is a very friendly environment for all types of students.

This school is so big that you can find a bit of any social group. There are both right-wing and left-wing students, gay and straight, rich and first generational, and members of all ethnicities. Largely mirrors the general population, except there is a under-representative Black population. Anyone can find their place here. From personal experience, the types of kids you find in the Honors College largely differ from the kids in other residential halls.

There are all different types of students here at ASU. Since there are so many students attending, the school naturally holds a lot of different types of people. I do not think ASU is as racially inclined as other schools, but we still do have a variety of students. We have religious clubs and there is cultural Greek Life offered. Students at ASU are typically attractive and carry themselves well. Most people don't wear sweatpants to class unless it is in a the morning, people typically get ready every day. If you were to walk into the dining hall and examine the tables you would see people affiliated with greek life, students that have known each other from home, Honors students and kids that live in the same hall. A lot of the students at ASU are from Arizona but there are also a lot from out of state, that's one of the great things about the large student body. Most students at ASU seem to be middle to upper class and have a good head on their shoulders.

You'll see and meet all kinds of people at ASU. I don't think anyone would feel out of place at all.

I don't think that any student would feel out of place here. With 60,000+ people, there is a place for everyone and that is one of the best parts about ASU. There is also a large number of out of state students which helps other kids from out of state find connections immediately. It's hard to pinpoint a single place, but most of the students are probably from Arizona or California. Also with financial situations, there is every level you could imagine so there is no predominate amount of any financial level.

Arizona State University is a very diverse college that has people from all parts of the world going to school here. Every day I encounter different types of races, religions, ect. The people that would feel out of place here are the ones that are not very outgoing and wouldn't be able to go out of there way to meet people. Its hard with 72,000 kids going to the Tempe campus alone to not get swallowed up in everything if you don't have the ability to go meet people. Most of the students here are from either California or Arizona, with everyone else scattered around the US and the world.

As far as dealing with students of different gender, race, ethnicity, ASU does a good job as being diversified and helps all students get along. However there does seem to be a lot less color like african americans so some one of that nature might feel out of place. Most of the students are white and come from the east coast or arizona. I also find that many of the students seem to be finacially secure. I also hear many speaking about how they will be so rich when they are older. I would say prodominately white males attend my school and they come from financially safe backgrounds.
